Harland & Wolff Welders Football Club is a semi-professional, Northern Irish football club playing in the NIFL Championship.

History

The club, founded in 1965, hails from Belfast and plays its home matches at Tillysburn Park in the East of the city.[1] The club was formed by the welders of the nearby Harland & Wolff shipyard.[2]

The club's colours are amber and black to display the link with Harland & Wolff shipyard and its iconic cranes. Harland & Wolff Welders share a long running rivalry with fellow East Belfast Championship 1 side Dundela. In April 2014 the H&W Welders formed a partnership with Harland Youth, a young club composed of six teams of all ages and they will now be called H&W Welders Youth.
